2 Detroit Camp Songs on Living With the Rebbe

This year in Gan Yisroel Detroit, two beautiful BMD color war songs were composed.

The songs both encourage living with the Rebbe and maintaining a connection with him even during this time following Gimmel Tammuz.

Lyrics: Team Lichyos – Living with the Rebbe
t.t.t.o. rochok (tzlil v’zemer boys choir)

The question stays the same
It doesn’t let him sleep
This darkness we are in is so deep
My life support I cannot hear or see
My Rebbe where can he be

Since the very start
No matter how they fared
The yidden had a leader who loved and cared
He would pass it on, a new נשיא declared
But now we are alone it does appear

Chorus:
ahey..
My Rebbe I may not hear
But to us he made it clear
I live with you in every single way
I’m the head and you’re the feet
Together, moshiach we’ll greet
To get it done, your avodah is what we need

I’m here more than before
In Chassidim is where I’ll be
When you live the way i’d like to see
The kochos I give to you
I’m revealed in what you do
מה זרעו בחיים אף הוא
(end chorus)

I understand my mission
I now have just one vision
The Rebbe should live with and through me
By doing what he says carefully
Then the Rebbe I can truly see

Repeat chorus:
ahey..
my Rebbe I may not hear…

Lyrics: A Prince in the Palace
T.T.T.O. Zechor Bris – Motty Steinmetz

▼ A prince in the palace
he spends day and night,
his father is always in sight.

Unrest in the kingdom
The prince sent away
Banished, himself he must stay.

▲ Despite the great distance, he cannot forget
Of the time with his father he spent.
Each moment so precious,
So cherished so dear
How he longs to be again there.

Father oh Father, a cry of demand
Why, from the palace I’m banned
Please bring me back
To be together once more
This is all I ask for.

———————————

▼ As a prince in the palace
we spent day and night,
Our Rebbe was always in sight.

But now all has changed,
With a terrible decree,
Our Rebbe, we no longer see.

Chorus:
▲ In spite of the darkness, we will not forget
Of the time with the Rebbe we spent.
Each moment so precious,
So cherished so dear
How we long to be again there.

Tatteh Oy Tatteh, a cry of demand
Why this Golus was planned
Please bring us back
To be together once more
This is all we ask for.

Go back: In spite of the darkness… X3
